With Mumbai witnessing a surge in COVID-19 cases over the last three months, there may be respite soon as a fall in positive cases and strong recovery numbers have been seen in the past few days. According to experts if this trend continues, Mumbai may see a flattening of the curve by Mid July and normalcy of the life by the start of August if precautionary measures remain in place. CEO of Wockhardt Hospital Mumbai, Dr. Parag Rindhani, who is a microbiologist, told ANI: “In the past three months, we have seen several cases of COVID-19 and now, fortunately, we are seeing a decrease in numbers.
With this trend, we can expect a flattening of the curve by mid-July, which BMC commissioner has also said, and the normalcy of life can be expected by the beginning of August.” “But it is conditional as people would have to behave responsibly for that, else we cannot deny the possibility of a second wave,” he added. Dr. Rindhani further spoke about the monsoon-related diseases and said soon it will become difficult to segregate COVID and non-COVID patients.
